Festival paella catering in Anmore
How our festival paella catering works in Anmore
Festivals, fairs, markets and community events are all on our list in and around Anmore. We cook giant-pan paella, seafood paella and churros, and typical bookings are for music and food festivals and VIP and hospitality areas.
At a fête or field event near Anmore, a paella stall brings a hot, filling meal to a rural site. Ground conditions and access matter, so tell us about them. Each paella is cooked from scratch on the day, never made in advance and reheated.
What affects the price in Anmore
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. What affects it most:
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Waiting and bar staff
- Timings and hours
- The number of people
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Step by step
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Evening events in Anmore have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- You get our menu, pitch requirements and paperwork.
- We arrive at the agreed time to set up the pitch.
- The paella cooks in full view, and we serve from the pan through the event.
- We pack down and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us where to park and unload

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
